"Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps."

Nehemiah 12:27

On Monday (the 21st) our grandparents, and soon after our uncle and family, came down for Grandpa's birthday at our house.

We were doing Balancing the Sword (family Bible time) when Grandpa and Grandma arrived and we cleaned up and hurried to get things cooking, prepared, etc.

Cooking in the kitchen!

Grandpa making a "cootie catcher!" :)

(For those of you who don't know my Grandpa, he jokes a lot and always has a new trick to show us!)

Hannah playing the piano.

Grandma and Lydia playing the rain stick.

Grandpa and Josiah conversing!

This is what they were conversing about...

We had lots of snacky-type of foods. Of course, one of the options was...veggies!
